I'm at my sister's place, having cheated on my kitties with one of her cats---and almost committing a far more serious kind of infidelity with her dog, who slept next to my bed. Yes, I scritched another kitty. I suspect the kitties will get revenge.

Big surprise, buying a bus ticket was a nightmare. The website kept locking up, no matter what device I used, and the company even acknowledged this on their twitter. Still. I'm surrounded by creeks and trees and hills. We chatted about my niece's horse, my sister's schedule, my other sister's monster zucchini. Seriously, she grew the Godzilla version of zucchini. There's really no good portmanteau for that, is there?

It's little things that make a holiday, such as bitching about Trump in horror-stricken tones. My sister's cats are totally NOT spoiled. Nope. Not one bit. (They're on the counter as we speak.)

I started panicking while waiting for the (late) bus, but I did manage to talk myself down a bit. The bus itself was....well. i kept nodding off and then awaking, gasping from nightmares. Could be worse.

(Just got home; was gone less than ten hours. I think Night recognizes the sound of my car, or the key in the lock; by the time the door's opened, she's sitting near her food dish, *yelling* at me. And there was the cutest little bengal cat who condescended to sniff my hand and let me pet her for about five seconds before wandering off.)

I admit, I love coaxing affection from a cat I've just met. Cats are often wary and mistrustful, and getting to scratch chins, heads, or (once in a great while) tummies is a triumph. And I just love cats, period. While Precious would scorn and snub me after she caught the scent of another cat on me, Lucky would just rub against my hand and then demand attention.

(::sigh:: I miss the little tuxedo so much.)

Glad you made it, despite the nightmares. :( But I hope you had a great Thanksgiving. As for a portmanteau: Zuchzilla?

I'm not all that good, honestly. I just love reading you and I guess you make me nicer?You've been so supportive for me and for others--I like reminding you that you're a damn good person.I am always glad to see your posts, and am impressed as hell with how you deal and live your life.
